Abstract
In general, embodiments of the invention relate to a switch that includes a processor, ports, and memory that includes instructions, which when executed by the processor perform a method. The method includes obtaining, via a port, a global task-server mapping from a first server, detecting that one of the ports is congested. The method further includes, based on the detecting, identifying a task associated with the one of the ports using the global-task server mapping, generating a task listing based on the identifying, generating an alert including the task listing, and transmitting the alert to an administrator.
